This is where you can find official beta tarballs for the project prior to
release.
The OSCAR distribution comes in two OSCAR tarballs and a set of repository
tarballs:
oscar-base-OSCARVERSION.tar.gz : the base OSCAR tarball stripped of
almost every binary packages (rpms)
oscar-srpms-OSCARVERSION.tar.gz : the SRPMS, you only need this if you
want to rebuild rpms
oscar-repo-common-rpms-OSCARVERSION.tar.gz :
repository of noarch rpms used on all
supported distributions
oscar-repo-DISTRO-VERSION-ARCH-OSCARVERSION.tar.gz :
repository of distro and architecture
specific rpms.
Online documentation:
=====================
Is located at:
http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/wiki/oscar:5.0:install_guide
The installation procedure of OSCAR 5 is quite different to that of previous
versions. Please read the documentation!
OSCAR installation:
===================
A) Copy all RPMs of the master node's distribution into the directory
/tftpboot/distro/DISTRO-VERSION-ARCH or /tftpboot/rpm.
The DISTRO name should be the real name of the distribution. Supported
DISTRO-VERSION-ARCH combinations are:
{redhat-el,centos,scientific_linux}-4-{i386,x86_64}
mandriva-2006-i386
fedora-{4,5}-{i386,x86_64}
suse-10.0-i386
B) Download the oscar-repo-common-rpms and the oscar-repo-DISTRO-VER-ARCH
tarballls suitable for the distribution(s). Unpack them in /tftpboot/oscar.
C) Download the oscar-base tarball. Unpack it in an appropriate directory.
Rename the unpacked directory, if you want (e.g. /opt/oscar)
D) In the unpacked directory (e.g. /opt/oscar) execute:
./install_cluster ETH_INTERFACE
(ETH_INTERFACE is the cluster internal interface on the head node,
e.g. eth0).
Repositories:
=============
Instead of copying RPMs locally to the master node you can use online
repositories:
